The Wii has just about wrapped up its lifespan now that the Wii U is out, but there’s still a few games left to come out for the system. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like you’ll be able to pre-order those games. Following reports of Wii game pre-orders being discontinued, GenGAME spoke with local GameStop management, and they confirmed that their computer system no longer has a Wii section for pre-orders.
"It would be great if people had to buy more of the thing," says guy who makes money selling the thing.
If they did then collectors wouldn’t be getting f***** over with discless collectors editions
No shock, GameStop is alive because of trading. If they don't have used games on their shelves they are absolutely donezo.
Well of course the GS boss thinks this... that's their bread and butter business. That and funco pops and clothing, though those two were added as a means to supplement the decline in people buying used games or even new games. GS just sucks overall when it comes to gaming. I buy my physical stuff on Amazon or Best Buy.
As for "requiring" disc drives... nah. Not anymore, but i like having them as an option. They had a means back when games actually ran off the discs and were more/less complete. Now they are incomplete and the disc is really an installer with a license to play. If you want to change games you have to take out the disc and put in another. Its more convenient to just use digital. I have been into digital for years now and when the PSPortal comes along i wont even have to go into my game room. I will just play my PS5 from my couch downstairs. I have a bunch of digital installed games to my 5... I'm all set.

At this point in time If I didn't own a PS5 I would have done this in a heartbeat but I had already acquired a PS5 first before I acquired an XBSX.
I'll stick to keeping both. Gamestop though... seems kind of desperate to take in Series X units. What could they be plotting???
I just want some games for my series X I have both since release and after weighing the offerings in PS Essentials to Gamepass I quickly realized I Owned anything of worth in both catalogs. And, the things I didn't I didn't see as justifiable for maintaining both subs.
Since then my series X is a legacy machine that I play my old games on and that's it. 3 years ago I really thought from that Xbox showcase we were going to have some great games by now. Instead, it's just been a lot of meh
GameStop’s chief financial officer is resigning, in the latest of several executive departures from the video game retailer.
Another nail in the coffin of the Wii... kinda sucks since the Wii U is backward compatible. You'd think Wii game development would be very cost effective by now and they could push some JRPG's and Indie games for it. Xenoblade and Last Story were recent games and prove there can be some great games for the Wii. I'd personally rather have Wii U games, but I understand some cannot afford to adopt right away.
You can reserve Pandora's Tower at GameStop still....
i was about to say how can i preorder pandoras tower
oh come just stop after pandora's tower comes out
This is why i dislike Nintendo. Once there new console is there old one is totally abadond. Sony after years of the ps3 being out it was still backed up.
